it is sort of the calm before -- round 2 of this storm. whatever it will bring us. >> it's a little nerve-racking, bernadette. >> it is. and we can't stress enough how border line this event is. because we're only talking this stretch of a degree or two. and it can change from just a wet roadway to completely icy roadway. because there's this really big slug of moisture coming with this next round of moisture here. let's get into it. we'll show you from this morning. this is what we're dealing with. and this is the light icing that we saw during the morning hours. temperatures were below freezing. but there wasn't a lot of moisture. that has all gotten out of here. temperature-wise, we've gotten above freezing. but this is what we mean. this is so border line. 33 is where we sit in baltimore. south and east of the city. we'll take you in a little closer and show you it's just 32 in westminster. mainly north and west of the city that we're most concerned with this event. starting at 9:00 tonight. we have -- now, this is a

freezing rain advisory that goes into effect for all of the pink counties. the ice storm warning is off to the east. and this is a winter storm warning. so again, you can see how border line this event is. in this area, probably a mix of freezing rain and rain. it's north and west of the cities in here that were going to see the biggest threat. we've got this graphic here to show you that our biggest threat, where we expect some accumulation possibly. anyway from a tenth to a quarter inch of ice is in this zone right in here. and the farther north you go, the more we could see out of that. now, we're going to switch back over to you. and show you, this is why we're also concerned. take a look at this massive storm. this is what is down to the south right now. there are tornado watches in effect. there is a blizzard going on in kansas city and oklahoma city. that is all moving off to the northeast and in between the two is a very fine line. but that's where there is some icing concerns. and that's what's going to move our way. so here's the center of the storm. it starts starts to move in our direction. that's when we're going to see that possible icing threat. later tonight, through the early morning hours.

all right. taking a live look outside right now. things are moving pretty smooth right now. and it's good we aren't at freezing. >> it will probably change later. we will probably just see rain for a while. and north and west of the city, temperatures only hit to be exactly 32 or a little lower. maybe 31.9. and there you will see freezing rain. take a look at temperatures around the region. right now, airport just jumped back up to 34. dew point at 32. humidity, 92%. no winds at all. the barometer has actually been rising. 31.16 inches. once again, we have for our region, most of the area, a freezing rain advisory, beginning at 9:00 tonight, until 7:00 in the morning. most areas north and west of the city, take a look at this

graphic. this is what we expect to see the heaviest threat for ice. just really north of the beltway. northern cecil, harford, baltimore, carol, frederick, washington county. that's the area tonight, where temperatures will stay just around 31, 32. could see a tenth to a quarter inch of ice. south of the area, generally just rain. maybe a little bit of ice. not a major issue. let's take a look once again. and temperatures around the region. 43 in ocean city. 34 in pax river. 37 in d.c. from the city on north and west. you can see, 32, 32. even out in oakland. 43 degrees. a little warmer up there in the high mount mountains. getting some warm air coming in. right now, winds are very, very light. not going to be a major factor until the storm that will be affecting us late tonight, into tomorrow, passes the region. and that's when the winds will shift. it's a very well-formed area of pressure. heavy snow behind it.

look at this thing, spinning up over texas. portions of oklahoma. blizzard conditions out there. ahead of it, somewhat milder air. down here in the 50s. we're still stuck in the 30s. for a while, late tonight, into tomorrow. that's why we think we'll see some freezing rain. now, once it storm passes, things will dry out quickly. colder temperatures coming in behind it for late wednesday and thursday. but tomorrow afternoon, we may get into the mid or upper 40s. with winds gusting to the west. bay temp around 43. tonight, later tonight, look for freezing rain. and mostly rain, south and east. 32, 34. tomorrow, any precip ending early. breezy and warmer. 49 degrees by this time tomorrow afternoon. you'll say what is going on. then it's going to get cold again tomorrow night. >> okay. >> just sowe can get use -- so we can get used to 49. >> thank you. watch don and marty at 4:30 tomorrow morning, with the latest on the storm and any weather-related closings and

delays. still to come on eyewitness news tonight. >> much of maryland woke up to a thin coating. ice, on just about everything. and we aren't out of the woods just yet. i'm derek valcourt. coming up on eyewitness news. what you need to know to be ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
